Song lyrics

A love-struck Romeo sings a stresses serenade,
Laying everybody low
With a love song that he made,
Finds a convenient streetlight steps
Out of the shade,
Says something like you and me
Babe, how about it?

Juliet says, hey it's Romeo
You nearly gimme a heart attack,
He's underneath the window
She's singing hey la, my boyfriend's back
You shouldn’t come around here
Singing up at people like that,
Anyway what you going to do about it?

Juliet, the dice were loaded from the start
And I bet you exploded in my heart
And I forget, I forget the movie song,
When you going to realize
It were just that the time was wrong, Juliet?

Come up on different streets
They both were streets of shame,
Both dirty, both mean, yes
And the dream was just the same
And I dreamed your dream for you
And now your dream is real,
How can you look at me
As I was just another one of your deals?

When you can fall for chains of silver
You can fall for chains of gold,
You can fall for pretty strangers
And the promises they hold,
You promised me everything,
You promised me thick and thin,
Now you just say, oh Romeo, yeah you know
I used to have a scene with him

Juliet, when we made love you used to cry,
You said I love you like the stars above
I'll love you till I die,
There's a place for us you know the movie song
When you going to realize
It was just that the time was wrong?

I can't do the talk like they talking on the TV
And I can't do a love song like the way
It’s meant to be,
I can't do everything but I'd do anything for you,
I can't do anything except be in love with you

And all I do is miss you and the way we used to be,
All I do is keep the beat and bad company,
All I do is kiss you through the bars of a rhyme,
Julie, I'd do the stars with you any time

Juliet, when we made love you used to cry
You said I love you like the stars above
I'll love you till I die,
There's a place for us you know the movie song,
When you going to realize
It was just that the time was wrong?

A love-struck Romeo sings a stresses serenade
Laying everybody low with a love song
That he made,
Finds a convenient streetlight steps
Out of the shade,
Says something like you and me
Babe, how about it?
